We are the UK's leading specialist in acoustic guitars. Our passionate guitar playing staff have chosen a comprehensive range of guitars which cater for all players from rank beginner to seasoned professional.
We have a particular enthusiasm for UK based manufacturers and take pride in offering a range of instruments by makers such as Flyde, George Lowden, Jimmy Moon and Alistair Atkin, but we do like the big US names too: Martin and Guild are well represented here at Forsyth.
We have a number of excellent ranges to suit all pockets including Crafter, Aria, Simon &Patrick, Seagull, moving up to a mid level, there are Stonebridge, Faith and Breedlove models and then Martin for the discerning player.
Vintage, rare and unusual guitars are also sought out and offered when ever we can.
We have acoustic amplifiers by AER, VOX and Roland and numerous options on pickups for acoustic guitars, and we are happy to discuss the merits of each and the best options for your requirements.
All of our acoustics are carefully examined and tested before being offered for sale and we offer free setups on any guitar purchased from us within the first year. A full repair service for acoustic guitars is also available.
